SMOC PROPERTY PORTFOLIO - 2015
Introduction
This manual provides the reviewer with a visual presentation of the facilities SMOC utilizes to
meet its mission.
SMOC began acquiring and renovating properties in 1986 when we purchased a distressed
building in Framingham to open a congregate family shelter. Shortly thereafter SMOC created the South
Middlesex Non Profit Housing Corp, a wholly-owned real estate corporation.
As this manual demonstrates, SMOC holds a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial
properties to meet our mission. The great majority of those properties are owned; several are leased.
The manual is divided into four sections:
1. Facilities – buildings either owned or leased by the agency for a specific use or program. The
buildings in this section are located across the agency’s service territory.
2. MetroWest – properties owned or leased in the following communities: Lowell, Hudson,
Framingham, Ashland, Marlboro, and Waltham.
All of these properties are used for housing.
3. Worcester County – properties owned in the following communities: Worcester, Northbridge,
Whitinsville, West Boylston, Gardner, Leominster, Fitchburg, Hardwick, Warren, Southbridge,
Athol, Orange and Spencer.
All properties are used for housing.
4. Western Mass – properties owned or leased in the following communities: Springfield,
Easthampton, Palmer and Chicopee.
All properties are used for housing.
Each page of the manual consists of a large picture of the building and some basic information
which includes: when the property was acquired; whether it’s owned or leased; a brief description of the
property; a brief description of the use of the property.
This manual represents the first stage of a detailed process. The next step is to create two
appendices to the document. On appendix will consist of a comprehensive fact sheet on each building.
The second appendix will consist of a comprehensive financial presentation of our real estate.
